    Cover by Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia. Stories and art by Bill Molno, Charles Nicholas, Vince Alascia, and Jack Keller. Charlton's long-running series focused on the miliary exploits of the US Marines throughout the 20th century. Four Marines are surrounded by Axis troops during the closing days of WWII in the Philippines. A Marine on recruitment duty in the US is confronted by what can only be described as a militant pacifist, in a story that foreshadows the anti-war protests of the later 1960s. After Pearl Harbor, 16-year-old MacLoed lies about his age and enlists in the Marines, only to find himself in the South Pacific, under fire and terrified. 4 Condemned Men; The Pacifists; The Fear and the Fury; S Is for Surprise; A Frightened Boy; Strength of a Nation. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.12.
